The AAP Section on Dermatology wishes to announce
The Walter W. Tunnessen, Jr. Visiting Professorship. Dr. Tunnessen
was a consummate educator and clinician who devoted much of his career
to teaching about skin disorders in children and adolescents. The intent
of the visiting professorship named in his honor is to bring an expert
in pediatric dermatology to pediatric residency programs to enhance education
about dermatologic disease.

Interested institutions that possess a pediatric residency program,
particularly those without access to an expert in pediatric dermatology,
are encouraged to apply by completing an application below. It is
anticipated that the visiting professor would spend two days at the
host institution conducting lectures, seminars, or rounds with pediatric
residents, medical students, and faculty.

Two visiting professorships will be awarded annually. The Section
on Dermatology will oversee the program and provide an honorarium, along
with reimbursement for travel, lodging, and meal expenses for two days. The successful applicant program may then schedule the visit for
any time during the calendar year 2015.
